....Crikey! How on earth could an insurer justify not "allowing" this mod!? There is absolutely no change to the car's performance power or even responsiveness as a result and in fact you are improving materials used. If you are planning more mods it may be better to change your insurer.

I haven't changed my cooling hoses, just my turbo charge/discharge hoses to SAMCO (similar to Forge). All silicone laminated hoses are relatively expensive.

I know mate its nuts!! They have referred it to their underwriters...  :confused: I said it isn't a performance mod if anything will make the car more reliable to a certain extent, and I used the 'like for like' quote lol! That's Admiral I'm with. They won't let me put an Intercooler on it, nor Bluefin... I imagine a remap is the same? Jeeeez...

RedRobin:
^^^^
Bluefin is a remap.

Admiral and similar mainstream insurance brokers don't understand the modding world. When it's time to renew your policy, look elsewhere to brokers like Greenlight and Sky who are far more knowledgable and are car enthusiasts themselves (at least, Greenlight are).
